Czech parody of Humphrey Bogart movies

A very, very, very funny comedy. Some gags can be understood only by people knowing Czech language (like speeches of the toothless gang boss). One of my favorite comedies. Some actors played very good parts in the "Adventures of brave soldier Svejk": Police commander - policeman Brettschneider, lieutenant Dub Mr. Gogo - Palivec, sergeant Vanek etc. The final combat zone in the garage is also very fine. In that movie there are many shoots and murders but even the youngest children liked it. The main plot is the fight of two rival gangs (one from "Michigo", another from "San Bonigo") for a check and a quiet school teacher is found to be a pervert serial murder.

Trivia
The scene in which two gangsters throw George Camel across the table was shot in slow motion and backwards and edited later so that the actor Lubomír Lipský was able to perform it personally and did not have to be replaced by a stuntman.

Quotes
Kovarski: Ladies and Gentlemen, mass murderer, Mr. Camel, has just murdered three men from the orchestra. He didn't like the way they have performed.

Alternate versions
After the emigration of the actor Martin Stepánek (one of the gangsters) to Austria in the 1980s, scenes with him were removed for the Czech and Slovak television distribution, even though this caused a slight discontinuity in the plot. From the noughties onward, the film is always shown in its original form.
